Influence of Friction Conditions and Structural Refining on the Tribological Behavior of Titanium

Abstract:

Titanium and its alloys have a wide range of applications in various industries, including medicine. However, the low strength and high friction coefficient hinder their development in contact friction due to fretting fatigue. Among many factors, structure refinement, temperature and amplitude are the most responsible for fretting wear of structural materials. The purpose of the article is to investigate the effect of displacement amplitude, size of grain and test temperature on the fretting wear of the pure titanium in coarse-grained and ultrafine-grained states. It is shown that an increase in the test temperature for both structural states leads to a multiple increase in wear. Structural refinement of titanium to hundreds of nanometers helps to reduce wear at room and elevated temperatures.
